Is he the man he claims to be? Follow the wandering knight and his squire as they uncover the secrets that lie along this path and uncover the nefarious plot of the so-called Misbegotten Son. - I will do my best to update every Monday.

・(18+) Japanese Crime-Infused Dark Romance・ Kana was never meant to be his sheath. She was never meant to bleed for Shion's future. And yet, she did. Okita Shion, heir to a yakuza legacy soaked in blood, must choose between inheritance and the woman who taught him what normalcy felt like; and where Emori Kana, an ordinary civilian, learns that survival in the underworld does not always mean fighting-sometimes it means standing still, and letting the storm decide who it will spare. A slow-burn descent into power, grief, love, and devotion. (Yakuza no Iro = The Colours of the Yakuza) A tragic love story set within the gokudo (yakuza) world, where deep-seated hierarchies, rigid etiquette, and entrenched traditions and cultures intertwine with crime, leaving love to struggle in between duty and ruin. Written from a civilian's perspective on how the boryokudan (violent group) is seen here in Japan. Generally, we do not care much what they do.

Brayden Wolf doesn't like people. While other kids played and laughed, he stayed quiet - in books, screens, and the comfort of being alone. He didn't need friends. He didn't want them. He prefers distance. Silence. Control. Then Stephanie came into his life. She was loud, warm, and impossible to ignore. For the first time, Brayden found himself watching someone... thinking about someone... needing someone. She thinks she knows him. She doesn't Years pass, and the feeling never fades. Because the truth Brayden refuses to admit is the one thing he can't escape. Stephanie was never just his sister. Stephanie is everything to him. But is he everything to Stephanie?

In the year 2026, an alien race called the Zlocu led under the command of the bloodthirsty Emperor, Malgan Tomentradi, are waging war across the stars, believing that the era of peace was slowing down the next step of universal evolution. Now, they are determined to "awaken" everyone to let them know how peace made them weak. Recovering from a devastating global conflict, planet Earth took one of the worst hits from the Zlocu's onslaught. Despite the efforts of various governments, the Zlocu occupied 80% of Earth. Everything seemed hopeless until a group of celestial beings called "The Guardians" started to intervene in the conflict, spurred on by the discovery of the four physical incarnations that represent the principles of the Universe itself. All of them found on planet Earth, three Humans and an Alien. Now, these four heroes and other factions must work together to defeat the Zlocu Empire and Malgan's reign of tyranny. But more than war, they also must discover the meaning of being a hero and a warrior in the modern world, one in which Humanity may have lost its way. A tribute to the favorite anime and Science Fiction works of the 80s to the early 21st century, this is one tale to witness. ~Honors~ 1ST Place in Sci-fi category in the Purple Stars Awards 7TH Place in Sci-fi category in the Royalty Awards Cover by: Shrutiluvbooks #grandcafecommunity
